Even as summer's warmth starts to fade, a chilled red is still a refreshing option, particularly for pre-dinner drinks. Pop these light-bodied reds in the fridge for half an hour or so to drop them a few degrees and add to their zippy freshness.
2022 SOULEIL VIN DE BONTÉ LE ROUGE ($17)
A cheerful, dark-rubyhued Southern French blend of Grenache and Syrah, this appealing bargain offers crisp, peppery fruit and a lightly minteucalyptus finish.
NV DOMAINE RIMBERT COUSIN OSCAR ($19)
This lighthearted red is a fine expression of Cinsaut, its flavors lifted by a percentage of Pinot Noir. It's named after a cousin of vintner Jean-Marie Rimbert, who was a bit of a roué.
2021 CHRISTINA ST. LAURENT ($20)
Christina Netzl grew up on her family's farm in Austria and decided by age 5 that she wanted to be a winemaker. Smart decision, as this floral, peppery, lively red shows.
2020 MAISON L'ENVOYÉ FLEURIE ($21)
The wines of Fleurie are known for their fragrant grace. This is no exception: It tastes like what you'd get if you waved a wand over a bowl of berries and turned them into flowers.
2022 DAY WINES VIN DE DAYS ROUGE ($27)
The irrepressibly creative Oregon winemaker Brianne Day makes this crunchy cran-raspberry red from a blend of Pinots Meunier and Noir. It's super bright and full of life.
2021 TARPON CELLARS CAMBARO ($28)
A low-alcohol (11.2%), hard-to-resist blend of Nebbiolo, Primitivo, Syrah, and other grapes, this transparent red from winemaker Jeremy Carter suggests crisp watermelon and strawberries. Chill it down, and drink it outside.
2022 IDLEWILD FLORA & FAUNA RED ($30)
